    This is the first time that Fire has been the primary type on Energy Search since the classic art used from Expedition through Diamond & Pearl. Between then and now, despite a handful of art changes, these cards have otherwise always featured Water.

    This card’s legality was just reset to the “J” block. Whew! It’s a very sad substitution for Earthen Vessel, but at least it’s something…

      Energy search and switch are both evergreen cards.

        What do you mean by evergreen?? Environmentally friendly? Cards that investor bros and investor aunts should scalp?? Useful in Grass type decks?

          evergreen means it’s a good card and it will stay a good card for a very long time. It also means pokemon knows this and they will keep printing new ones.

            that and it’s been around since the beginning or for a very long time.
